About Us

Welcome!

Congratulations on your decision to explore adoption as a way to build your family.  Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin (LSS) and Upper Michigan believes every adoption is a small miracle that transforms loss into love.  Adoption gives to everybody it touches - a child receives a home and the love of a family, and the adoptive family is blessed with one of life's most rewarding experiences, the opportunity to love and parent a child.  We welcome you to the threshold of your family's miracle.
   
As the largest not-for-profit licensed child-placing agency in the State of Wisconsin, LSS has been finding forever families for children of all ages, faiths and backgrounds for more than 60 years.  Over that time, adoptive homes have been found for well over 100,000 children.
